Painted Rock Dam
Anybody here ever fish the lower lake at Painted Rock Dam? I used to when I
was a kid. It had been several years since I was there, so I decided to take a look at it on my way home from Phoenix the other day. It was a dust bowl. The road down to the campground and launch / picnic area was barricaded, and all Icould see from the road in the main body of the lake was dry blowing sand. I'm glad for the people of Phoenix that they won't have as high a risk of draught due to the newer height of all the dams in the Phoenix area on the river system, but I am sad to see a wonderful lake from my childhood gone. -- Bob La Londe Yuma, Az http://www.YumaBassMan.com Promote Your Fishing, Boating, or Guide Site for Free Simply add it to our index page.

... Thank Las Vegas ! They are WASTING water in your area. Dave Painted Rock is on the Gila west of Gila Bend. The Gila feeds from New Mexico all the way across Arizona to the Colorado River near Yuma. The Salt, Verde, Agua Fria, and Hassayampa all feed into the Gila near Phoenix. Las Vegas uses Colorado River Water from a different water shed area entirely. "Bob La Londe" wrote in message ... | Anybody here ever fish the lower lake at Painted Rock Dam?
